Welcome to the Shikigami website. Amongst the flurry of spring plantings we put down some seeds for this website too. It has grown a little and hopefully will continue to grow steadily over the next year.
Following our first year establishing our home here we find ourselves being drawn out of the mountains to share what we are learning in workshops and presentations. Interest in the practices and philosophies of forest gardening, natural farming, permaculture, deep ecology, re-wilding is high indeed. But in the city we risk being mere curiosities, romantics "living the dream." Better to see the animals in their natural habitat, no?
On Saturday, May 26, 2012, we invite you to come and visit Shikigami. To see the site and hear about what we are doing and how we are doing it. Share a picnic lunch with us under the shade of a tree and meet others similarly interested. For more information please visit our events page.
Having only half a clue as to how to create a functional website, we have borrowed the work of our friend David Daniell. The website for his music label Antiopic has served as a template for our own. While visiting the Antiopic site we encourage you to check out the release Benefit for the Recovery in Japan.
